Abstract
The effect of pressure on the hydrolysis rates and the degradation kinetics of environmentally persistent omethoate pesticide was studied. The results showed that the values of k obs increased and the values of activation volume (AV) decreased with increasing pressure. Among pH conditions (3.58, 6.01 and 8.5), pH 8. 5 was found to be the unstable condition and its half-life was reduced from 263 min at 1 atm to 19.37 min at 10 atm. These results describe that high-pressure hydrolysis is a useful technique for the conversion of toxic organic phosphorus into inorganic phosphorus.
